Feature Colour
Feature Colour
(OP)
Hi All,
How do I set the Customer Defaults or Preferences to maintain the colours that I assign to objects?
I like to have a colour for the final body. As I create a new object I will assign another colour, then I can see when it is for example united as it will inherit the coulr of the parent body.
In the attached pic you will see the colours seem to be inheriting the child body or even another body.
Thanks in advance.

Miyamoto12: I would create a Feature Group for the offset surfaces and then use green Feature Group Color. Now when you create an offset surface activate the feature group and all new surfaces will go in the group and get a right color as well. If you continue modeling something else, deactivate the group and the new features go to the end of the history tree.

One point of correction on the example that you link to; it states:
This isn't true. NX supports assigning colors to features and feature groups (SS88 referenced this option above); you can find these options at menu -> edit -> feature -> assign {feature|feature group} color.
RE: Feature Colour
No doubt, it's possible to manually assign any color to a feature or feature group, but in that article mentioned a way to assign a random color to all features in the part, so i can't see any inconsistencies with what you mentioned.
It means Shuffle Random Color operation.

Please check the NX Documentation.[Modeling Preferences]
Boolean Face Properties from
Target Body
New face properties that result from Boolean operations are based on those of the target body.

RE: Feature Colour
Is english your first language? If not, it may just be a translation issue. The following sentence by itself, as written, is simply not true.
This sentence is saying that "The default behavior of NX is to paint all the faces with a random color". This is neither the default behavior of NX nor the "only option it supports".
The default behavior of NX is really to assign the face color based on your set preference. Other options include: use random colors, assign face colors based on the boolean target and tool body, or assign colors according to feature or feature group.

Great thanks! I appreciate you for such a detailed clarification, i will edit the post. I'm not a native english speaker, so grammar and semantic mistakes are my mates, unfortunately.
